Judging by the mail you've received lately, you'll know that graduation season is upon us. Yes, mortar boards and tassels are being thrown everywhere this month. We've picked up on that graduation theme and are telling you about some outstanding young adults who have taken the brave leap to get into the dairy business shortly after graduation. If you watched our video post last week, we told you about one young woman, who headed home to manage her family's farm in Michigan after college. This week, we're visiting with Greg Nye of Mountain View Dairy in Delta, Utah, who is an operations manager at the Nye's family farm. Greg didn't start out wanting to work on the family farm, but he found his way back there after educational and work experiences he had across the country shortly after graduating.
